1 How sweet is summer morning,
When dewdrops gem the ground,
Distilling sweetest fragrance
The balmy air around;
When every word resoundeth
With song-birds' matin lays,
The voice of Nature lifting
Her great Creator's praise.
2 The sun of summer morning,
How joyously he soars,
As over mead and mountain
His gorgeous radiance pours;
Then quick at heavens bright portals,
The lark his strain doth raise,
And mingles earth-born music
With angels' sacred praise!
